*****Digital Image Explanations of My Capabilities:
No AI – ALL RACHEL*****
Yes, I used the left photo for the final on the right. It's all I had to work with. So, I made it work.
This is the first image I retouched for the Lucille Catalog layout.
I also did all the photography of the products using the lighting equipment. Lighting Cords are fun around power tools and shop carts and...people. I had to change the perspective, digitally "add" the left end diagonal of the board creating most of it with the clone tool.
THE MOST-EST DIFFICULTIEST OF ALL...
The most difficult part was moving the tops of the glass over for perspective and to spin the walnut tops for symmetry–for the overall unity and symmetry of the catalog. Oh..wait..the MOST difficult part was removing the 1000 saw dust specs off the surface of the tiles...The blasted stuff is everywhere in a Wood Shop.
MY GOAL --
IN MY GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATIONS=SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
My emphasis is on color and shadow matching and merging/cloning textures for realism, so the viewer
should never be able to tell I added to the photograph. This is a mixture of digital illustration and photo
rendering for uber realism purely for composition and balance of the final image. If the photograph or the
subject within isn't already perfect...I make it so according to the parameters of the client. My 3D modeling
skills should be industry ready by January. If your company needs my skills, please reach out.
This left stock photo image I retouched in Photoshop to create retouched with the easy chair, round table and end table in the right with recreated curtains and a plant and layering the rug underneath it all and adding wood flooring and cabinetry in the back. I also created the layout of the left composite in InDesign.
THAT...
BECOMES THIS!
Digital Image Explanations
of My Capabilities:
1a. The Lucille Studio Booth that I design and project managed the production below of won "Excellence in Booth", "Best in Product Competition", "Best in Product Wallcovering Category" at WestEdge Hospitality Exhibit in LA last month. The image itself I created from 6 other photos that I took.
THE OBSTRUCTING SHELF!
BLARGH....!
The bottom half of the view to the booth was obstructed by a shelf. The shot angle I knew was a winner but I had to stand with my foot propping the door open from another room to get it. I had to squat to take the bottom half of the view and then change and orient the perspective to align and match it up. I had to erase out in between the bars of the left wall to add a layer behind another picture of the same tiles in the back wall of a second booth we built to add it for finishing. In addition-- the back rectangle Lucille Sign I created from scratch in Photoshop, without any photos. The reason for all the 6 photos, instead of taking the one fabulous shot: the booth was not finished until the week before the exhibition and the contest photos I did this image for had to be turned in 3 weeks before the event.

BECOMES THAT!
The following image I created entirely from the full booth above without a photograph. I used the Perspective Tool and the Distort, and Warp.

sO MuCH
fuUNNNN!
I used a stock photo and I created the Apex Installation on the wall adding depth with shadows.
I used a stock photo and I created the Ripple Effect Installation on the wall adding depth with shadows.
I used a stock photo and I created the Honeycomb Installation on the wall adding depth with shadows and curvature.
I used a stock photo and I created the Apex Installation on the wall adding depth with shadows.
I added this last one for fun
and because there was space to show MY DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION.
